For shoppers who visited DFO in the Christmas shopping rush, we can relate to your frustration and retail-sadness at the signage on the soon-to-be ‘Alannah Hill’ boutique. Yep, it was almost Christmas and our favourite Aussie glam designer had still not opened in the Capital.

But now the wait is over!

Launching last week, the Alannah Hill boutique boasts all those romantic gowns, sweet as candy accessories and high-tea ready shoes synonymous the iconic label.

Could this news be any sweeter for Canberra shoppers? Yes. And it is! Opening at DFO, the boutique is also a discount outlet, where our friend Alannah Hill stocks our darling favourite pieces at slashed prices.

On Tuesday evening we visited the Alannah Hill outlet boutique to find racks of soft wool cardigans with lace trimmings, velvet capes, floral frocks- hot for the upcoming Black Opal Raceway- and so much more. Our girly wonderland has arrived and we couldn’t contain our excitement! (we went home with half a rack)

A trip to see Alannah is a must for a girly apparel perve or that bargain 40’s inspired piece to taunt your friends with.
